    Ep.18: The Importance of playfulness in your home

    Send us a text In this episode we talk about the importance of injecting more playfulness and silliness into your home. Abuse and abusers rob victims, children and adults alike, of their ability to be playful and silly. Adding more playfulness and silliness in your home creates core memories, allows your children to simply be children, and helps to regulate their nervous systems.  Lots of easy, low energy but high impact, ideas here.  Visit: https://chantalcontorinescoaching.com to learn how to work with me.
